Fallout 3

Fallout 3 is an action role-playing game released by Bethesda Game Studios. It is the third major game in the Fallout series, which has also spawned the spin-offs Fallout Tactic and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. Fallout 3 takes place in the year 2277, 30 years after the setting of Fallout 2 and 200 years after the nuclear war that devastated the game's world.



While the game is designed to be played in whatever manner the character desires, the central plot of the game deals with the main character trying to find his father, James. Shortly after the player turns 19, his father leaves mysteriously. The player, after being threatened by the Overseer and forced to defend himself, pursues his father, tracking him first to a radio station, then to Rivet City, a derelict aircraft carrier now serving as a settlement. Here the player meets Doctor Li, who tells the player of Project Purity, a plan to remove the radiation from the water of the Tidal Basin, as means of helping to restore the environment, as plant and animal life can not hope to return to normal with the constant presence of radiation.
